Cooking meat with vegetables in a slow cooker is a win-win option for a person who is far from cooking. Food cooked in a multicooker does not burn and does not “run away”. Moreover, it is healthier than the one prepared on the stove, because more vitamins are retained in products prepared using household appliances. The only task that a freshly baked cook has to cope with is choosing the right meat and deciding on the preparation mode.

Selection of meat and spices for stewing

Experienced cooks recommend choosing seedless pulp. Advantage should be given to the collar, cut, ham or shoulder.

Onions, garlic, ketchup, tomato sauce and carrots are usually used as seasonings for meat dishes. Housewives believe that any vegetables, fruits, citrus fruits, dried fruits, sour cream and even yogurt can be combined with meat.

Preparatory preparation of meat

Before starting to prepare a tasty lunch, the meat is washed, cleaned of films and veins, and then dried with a cardboard towel.

It is possible, but not necessary, to fry the meat before stewing. Frying in a multicooker can be done in the “Frying” or “Baking” mode. Some housewives prefer to first fry the product in a frying pan and then place it in a slow cooker.

To ensure that the meat is perfectly fried in the slow cooker, it is added in small portions. The finished part of the product is temporarily removed in order to fry a new portion of raw meat. After any piece is fried, the meat is returned to the bowl.

To stew vegetables and meat in a slow cooker, you need to pour liquid into the bowl of the kitchen appliance, not counting selected ingredients and spices. It doesn't necessarily have to be water. Stewing can be done in broth, tomato juice, sour cream, yogurt, wine or beer. If an experienced cook can cook meat in his own juice, then a beginner is better off using one of the liquid options listed above.

Here are some easy tips for making stew using smart kitchen appliances.

The most common recipe for stewed vegetables (with meat in a slow cooker)

Even a man who has never practiced culinary art before can prepare this dish.

The following products will be useful:

500 g boneless beef,
3 carrots,
3 onions,
2 bell peppers,
4 garlic cloves,
3 tablespoons of special ketchup,
0.5 cups sunflower (or other vegetable) oil, salt and dark pepper to taste.

The meat is cut into thin slices and poured with a marinade made from finely chopped garlic, salt, pepper and vegetable oil. After mixing all the ingredients, leave them for 30 minutes to soak.

In the meantime, the multicooker is turned on in the “Baking” mode. When the bowl warms up, fry the meat on both sides until golden brown and turn off the multicooker for a while.

The onions are cut into rings, and the carrots and bell peppers into strips. Place half a portion of onions and vegetables into the multicooker bowl, which already contains fried beef. Place the remaining onion on top. Lastly, add ketchup and a glass of water (at least). Every cook describes the amount of water himself. The main thing is to make sure that the top edge of the contents does not exceed the level of the highest mark marked inside the bowl.

Close the multicooker lid and select the “Stew” mode. Extinguishing time is one and a half to two hours.

This recipe can be modified - adding new products to the list of ingredients or removing existing ones. For example, add cauliflower and tomatoes (previously scalded and peeled).

There are other recipes for making stew using household electrical appliances. So let’s continue - cook meat and vegetables in a slow cooker. The recipes below should appeal to lovers of simple but nutritious meat dishes.

Beef with pumpkin and vegetables

To make pumpkin and meat with vegetables in a slow cooker you will need:

0.5 kg pork, beef or boneless chicken,
the same amount of potatoes and bright orange pumpkin,
100 ml sour cream,
2 tablespoons vegetable oil,
salt and spices.

Vegetables are peeled and cut into cubes. Coarsely chopped meat is fried in vegetable oil in a hot frying pan until “blush” forms, after which it is placed in a multicooker bowl, greased with sunflower or any other vegetable oil.

The frying pan in which the meat was fried is not removed from the heat. All other ingredients will be fried here. “Roasted” vegetables and pumpkin are placed on top of the meat.

After adding sour cream, salt and spices to the multicooker bowl, select the “Stew” mode and simmer the meat and vegetables in the multicooker under a closed lid for 40 minutes.

Recipe for lovers of forest and other mushrooms

To make this dish you need to stock up on:

500 g boneless beef or pork meat,
200 g of new forest mushrooms (if desired, they can be replaced with oyster mushrooms or champignons),
head of onion,
clove of garlic,
one carrot,
80 g prunes,
50 ml semi-dry or dry reddish wine,
salt, pepper and any vegetable oil.

The meat is cut into pieces, and the onion into half rings or cubes. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Prunes washed with running water are poured with warm water to soften.

First place the meat in a preheated bowl of a multicooker programmed for baking and fry until golden brown.

Place onions on top of the fried meat, and after 3-4 minutes - carrots. All ingredients are mixed and fried for 5 minutes.

Thinly sliced prunes and mushrooms, as well as salt and pepper, are placed in the multicooker bowl. Wine diluted with water is poured on top of the food. If desired, you can add bay leaf, washed with hot water.

By selecting the “Extinguishing” mode and closing the lid, production continues in automatic mode. The short cooking time for meat and vegetables in a slow cooker is 1 hour.

Meat with prunes

This recipe for making stewed meat with vegetables in a slow cooker is not much different from the previous one. The only difference is the absence of mushrooms. If desired, prunes can be replaced with dried fruits or fresh fruits - apples or quince.

Meat with prunes and vegetables will become even tastier if potatoes or white cabbage are included in the ingredients.

Another recipe for meat and vegetables for a slow cooker

500 g boneless pork meat,
2 heads of onions,
1 carrot,
200 g sour cream,
a tablespoon of flour,
the same amount of water, sunflower (or other vegetable) oil.

The amount of salt and spices is at the discretion of the cook.

The meat is cut into large cubes, and the onion into half rings. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Vegetable oil is poured into the bowl of a multicooker programmed for baking or frying.

When the oil is hot, fry the pork cubes on each side. When the crust on the meat turns white, continue frying, vigorously stirring the contents of the bowl, for at least 10 minutes.

Add the carrots and onions and continue to cook until the carrots are softened (this will take approximately 7 minutes).

In the next step, pour flour into the multicooker bowl and combine it with the rest of the ingredients, avoiding the formation of lumps. After about three minutes, add 1 measuring glass of hot water to the dish being prepared and mix everything thoroughly again.

Having completed the “Frying” (“Baking”) mode, the multicooker is programmed to stew and stew the meat and vegetables for an hour (or more). Before turning on the “Stew” mode, some cooks pour sour cream over the half-finished dish and season it with spices. Braising is done under a closed lid.

I have a Redmond 3-liter multicooker, and if you have one of the same size (small, as you write), then both the eggplants and zucchini according to your recipe should be the size of a medium cucumber. I ended up with vegetables and pork, but not pork with vegetables! And your pepper, to be fair, is cut crosswise, that is, into rings, and not lengthwise (in strips, or, as you called it, stripes)

I have a Panasonic 3-liter multicooker. Vegetables with pork or pork with vegetables, what difference does it make, the main thing is that the dish contains both pork and vegetables . And as for the pepper, it still doesn’t have rings, because a ring is a round object with a hole inside. My pepper is cut without a hole inside

I don’t want to argue with you, because... You delve into the details, but I just wanted to say that the number of zucchini and eggplants for you had to be indicated in GRAMS!

You may be right about the grams, but not everyone has a scale at home.

and if I have 300 grams of meat and no eggplant and all the products in 1 quantity, how much oil? Thank you

There is not enough oil, pour about 1-2 tbsp on the bottom of the pan.

Although it’s late, I’ll write for the future: choose vegetables to suit your taste and portion.
Will you eat two, three zucchini and one eggplant, or without it at all? Please! The essence of this dish is pork and vegetables (any and in any quantity). I'm not a gourmet and, I assume, neither are you. Why is it wasted on grams and who cut the vegetables how? Cut vegetables to suit your mood and it will be delicious! I absolutely did, I also added potatoes there. Because I eat without bread. More precisely, he was not there. And the store is too far

You get juicy pieces of pork in a vegetable stew that contains onions, sweet peppers, carrots, peas, green beans, and eggplants. But this is not a final list; you can adjust and supplement it. Cauliflower, zucchini, or even finely shredded white cabbage will also fit here.

Prepare pork, onions, vegetable oil, salt, ground pepper, carrots, sweet peppers, green peas, green beans, eggplant, water, fresh parsley, garlic. Cut the meat into small pieces, place in a multicooker saucepan along with randomly diced onions. First, pour vegetable oil into the saucepan.

Using the “Fry” program, fry the onion and meat until the meat changes color and the onion becomes soft. Add salt and ground pepper to taste. Fry the onion and meat for another minute.

Then add chopped red pepper (large cubes) and carrots (halved circles) to the saucepan.

Also add green peas (frozen - defrost ahead of time) and green beans (do the same with frozen ones as with peas).

Peel the eggplants and cut into cubes. Add the eggplants to the multicooker pan and continue frying the meat and vegetables for another 5 minutes.

Now pour water from the kettle, add a little more salt and close the lid of the multicooker. Cook the dish on the “Stew” program for 30 minutes. Once during this period of time, open the slow cooker and stir the meat and vegetables. Add chopped parsley and chopped garlic clove to the almost finished dish.
